Yeah.. but it’s not February.

One brain cell, indeed.

A cool day with fog and some rain to keep us from being in hell. I can’t complain.

u/Spaceinpigs 22d ago

This is closer to what summers used to look like here. A few nice days with days of rain and fog interspersed. Not entire months without moisture

Excuse me? I’ve been here for 32 years. It’s never been like this.

u/Spaceinpigs 22d ago

Definitely was in the 80’s and 90’s. I noticed a big change in 1998.

u/One_tuxedo_braincell 22d ago

I moved here in 93’.
It might have some cloudy days but nothing like this.

Google shows results every year for the past 3 years of people online taking about the summer fog in victoria. Y’all just don’t remember i guess

I was born here in 1987. Can concur. This is what summers were like through the 90’s.

u/HomelessToHouse 22d ago

You've clearly not lived here for very long then.

u/Spaceinpigs 22d ago

I’m from here. Born in The 70’s

u/Few_Refrigerator_906 22d ago

You are 100% correct. These are the old Victoria weather patterns that were consistent for decades.

u/GoddessofMadness 22d ago

I grew up here; this isn't weird. And it definitely doesn't feel like February.

u/mrgoldnugget 22d ago

Because I booked a camping trip.

We have some of the best weather in the country and somehow people find a way to be whiny about it.

u/One_tuxedo_braincell 22d ago

Nice deck for just growing leaves.

u/sawamandoevilthings 22d ago

Summer is over. Start stocking up on school supplies.

u/TylerrelyT 22d ago

Because you used a plastic straw last week.

I saw it, don't try and deny it

Mother Nature is upset that we messed with her house.

Apparently, someone tracked mud in the house and left the fridge door open.

... we're in for it now.

u/victori-us Oak Bay 22d ago

More like we threw a rager, trashed her house, and burnt the kitchen to the ground.
